When we saw the Maine Diner on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and saw the Lobster Pie and Lobster Mac and Cheese, we knew we had to eat here. Although there were people waiting to get in, the wait was very short. All I have to say is WOW! Wonderful! Delicious! We were first served this huge cornbread muffin. Then came... More

We drove past here and decided on a late lunch. Wife had a bowl of chili with 2 wieners and I had chili dog. Taste was unusual, not bad. Distinctive to the area? Was surprised it was not served on a bun but a piece of bread. We were both stuffed after eating.

This was the only restaurant I wanted come to during my trip to Maine due to it being featured on Diners, Drive -Ins and Dives. I had a lobster roll and the seafood chowder. It was indeed beyond amazing.

Had the Meatloaf special of the day. Large portion reasonably priced. We have been there many times, always with a good experience.

We stopped for lunch on Wednesday, May 15th at about noon. We were seated and found the staff to be exceptional; very friendly, helpful, and efficient. We ordered the cold lobster roll and completely enjoyed it. The bun was overflowing with lobster and you actually tasted lobster, not gobs of mayo. The lobster was very tender and moist; just perfect.... More

My wife and I and some friends visited the Maine Diner for dinner. We ordered four seafood dinners and shared. The seafood chowder, lobster pie, lobster roll and stuffed shrimp. Every one of them was outstanding. If you visit the diner you must try the seafood chowder. It was filled with fresh seafood , the taste was amazing. We can't... More

A friend and I both had the Lobster Roll....you had to start with a fork, there was so much lobster, and it wasn't swimming in mayo either.Our server was patient and friendly......we were busy chatting and couldn't make up our minds. They were not all that busy (it was a Monday, and not 'lunch' time. We were able to sit... More

OK - we were told we HAD to stop here for their blueberry muffins. We tried. They were sold out for the day; apparently they don't last much past breakfast and this was mid-afternoon snack time. So we tried the corn muffins with honey butter. I had a cup of "she crab soup" with mine. The muffins were soft, moist... More

I went here years ago and had another opportunity to dine here and was again not disappointed. My wife had the Lobster pie ( delicious she states, never got a bite so it must be true). I had the Eddie Andelman ( macaroni and cheese with hot dogs). Doesn't sound like much but it was good. We also had corn... More
